Brooks BAATLS Quick Manual

BAATLS / BAAISO - Alarm Controllers
Mains Powered 230V
Product Description
Smoke Alarms are designed to detect smoke particles in the air. However,
other airborns particles, i.e. steam, cooking fumes, dust, etc. can also cause
smoke alarms to generate false alarms. With interconnected smoke/heat
alarms, when one alarm senses smoke/heat, all alarms will sound. With
these Brooks alarm controllers, they can provide the occupant with easier
inspection, service and identification of where these false alarms have
initiated.
Two models for Alarm Controllers are available:
1. BAATLS: To test, locate and silence active 230-volt smoke/heat alarms
2. BAAISO: To only isolate active 230-volt smoke/heat alarms
Compatible Smoke/Heat Alarms
Both BAAISO and BAATLS can be used with Brooks 230-volt
interconnectable range of smoke/heat alarms, 160e and 140RC series
smoke/heat alarms.
All 160e and 140RC Series Smoke/ Heat alarms MUST be fitted with
EIBPLATE when connecting to BAATLS or BAAISO. The AIBPLATE had
additional terminal to connect the battery negative required for connection
to BAATLS or BAAISO.
WARNING: Both BAAISO & BAATLS must be installed by a licensed
electrician in accordance with regulations for electrical installation
(AS3000). Failure to install the alarms correctly may expose the user to
shock or fire hazard.
Due to continual product development, Brooks reserve the right to alter product details and specifications without prior notice.

Operation
1. TEST: The TEST function enables the user to remotely activate all
the interconnected smoke/heat alarms simultaneously including
those hard to reach alarms. To test the alarms, press the TEST
button, to stop the test function, press the TEST button again.
2. LOCATE: This mode enables the originating smoke/heat alarm
signal to be identified. Press and hold the LOCATE button for 3
seconds, the red indicator built into the button body of the alarm
controller will illuminate for approximately 5 minutes. All alarms,
other than the one sensing smoke/heat, will stop sounding for the
same period. Once the originating alarm is identified via the LOCATE
button, the alarm can be checked and corrected, refer to the
nuisance and false alarm section in the user manual for the related
alarm. The locate function automatically resets after the locate time
ellapse.
3. SILENCE: The Brooks BAATLS provides a means of silencing all
alarms. When the SILENCE button is activated, the silence function
removes (approximately 5 minutes) both primary and secondary
power to the smoke/heat alarms, disabling all connected alarms.
During these 5 minutes, the occupant can remove the source of the
nuisance alarm to check and clear the sensing chamber. The BAATLS
automatically resets after the 5 minute period. If the sensing
chamber is clear, the smoke/heat alarm will reset otherwise all
alarms will re-sound.
NOTE: The Locate and Silence switch can be pressed only when a
Smoke/Heat Alarm becomes activated (sounding).
